Continued fossil jet fuel use, neutralized with permanent carbon removal, is likely to be a more cost and resource-efficient alternative for aviation than electrofuels.
High speed rail and electrified short-range aviation will also go a long way to reduce emissions from the current aviation industry. What is left will be easy to offset with CO2 removals. So I see no future for e-SAF either.
But (there is always a but ;-) ) in 2050 there will be areas where the price of solar (plus battery) will drop to $ 0,02 / kWh. So that DAC + CCS = SAF = Conventional fuels.

CarbonSig can help with transparent logical blending of removals with fuels or any product or service across any value chain today :) https://carbonsig.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/CS_brochure_aviation_industry_letter_0nline.pdf
Txs for the clair presentation.
